Workout was:
1x 2000 @ 5k+15s pace
1 x 1600 @ 5k+15s pace
3x800 @ 5k pace
with 400 jog recovery.
It was a beautiful cool, clear morning, no wind. In the first two intervals, I felt strong and relaxed, and felt sure I must be crushing the slightly backed-off pace. Alas no, my watch reassured me I was feeling strong and relaxed because I was just barely on pace. Doubled down for the 800s and and ran a bit under 5K pace.
2000m: 7:40
1600m: 6:06
3x800m: 2:51, 2:51, 2:49
6 x 1000m @ Leary, ~5K pace, with 400m jog recovery. Cool, clear, no wind--ideal conditions. I felt OK, not flat, but not a lot of extra spring. There hasn't been much time for strength training, and I'm sure it's holding me back on speed.
3:39, 43, 41, 38, 41, 37
Early morning, but already warm. Did club workout-- 3x600 200 rec, x3 (400 rec). Two other people in lane 1, but they were all doing speed and we didn't get in each others' way, for a wonder.
600s: 2:04, 2:09, 2:10, 2:07, 2:10, 2:09, 2:11, 2:11, 2:09
Sun red this morning with wildfire smoke, but air quality index was in the yellow, so I decided to carry on with a workout. Track was busy, with some walkers on lane 1.
5x800 with 400 recovery: 2:48, 2:54, 2:56, 2:57, 2:52
Was shooting for a 2:58 for that first one--nominally supposed to be 5k pace.
